The theme for the annual celebration of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2011 was announced by the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and the Commission on Faith and Order of the World Council of Churches. The theme for the 2011 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is “One in the Apostles’ Teaching, Fellowship, Breaking of Bread and Prayer”. It comes from Acts Chapter 2 versus 42. For 2011, the churches in Jerusalem were the initial consultants to the Joint Working Group for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The Christians of Jerusalem call upon their brothers and sisters to make this week of prayer an occasion of renewed commitment to work for genuine ecumenism grounded in the experience of the early Church.

St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Richardson, Texas will promote two days of observance of this theme on January 24th and 25th by holding a prayer service each night.
